He has made significant contributions to the field of polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of electrically conducting polymers. His innovative work has led to the creation of a unique method for emulsion polymerization.

Latest Patents

Österholm holds a patent for "Electrically conducting polyaniline: method for emulsion polymerization." This patent describes a method for the emulsion polymerization of aniline or substituted anilines, aimed at producing both homopolymers and co-polymers of aniline. The process involves forming an emulsion of aniline monomers, a polar solvent, a non-polar or weakly polar solvent, and a functionalized protonic acid. This acid serves dual purposes: acting as a surfactant and as a protonating agent (dopant) to create an electrically conducting polymer. An oxidant is then added to initiate the polymerization of the emulsion ingredients. This method results in polyaniline particles with highly crystalline and oriented morphologies, which can be controlled for specific aspect ratios. He has 1 patent to his name.
